Asajj Ventress cuts her way to the foot of Grievous's landing craft. "Fight me alone. Prove you're the greater warrior," demands Ventress of her longtime rival. "If I win, your army leaves. If you win, the Nightsisters will surrender to you." The droid general emerges with four lightsabers, and engages Ventress in a duel.

Though Ventress lands the first blow on Grievous, the devious droid general orders his troops to open fire on her. Outnumbered, she has no choice but to retreat while Grievous gloats. Asajj is shot in the shoulder and collapses in pain. The Nightsisters protect her from Grievous, as she stumbles away into the mists.

Desperately writhing in pain, Dooku contacts General Grievous with new orders. Through tortured gasps, Dooku orders Grievous to find Mother Talzin and destroy her. The cyborg general takes his droids and charges the lair.

Following a glowing trail of magical mist, Grievous finds the inner chambers of the Nightsisters' lair. Old Daka is so preoccupied with the resurrection spell that she fails to defend herself against the invaders. Grievous impales Daka with his lightsaber, and the undead Nightsisters fall to the ground.

Their forces decimated, the living Nightsisters are surrounded by battle droids, who open fire and destroy all the remaining survivors. Inside the lair, Talzin escapes Grievous's blades by turning into a cloud of green mist. Grievous tips over her cauldron, breaking her spell over Dooku and saving the Count's life.

In the now-still Dathomir forests, Asajj survives. But her people have been wiped out and she is once again left alone. A vision of Mother Talzin appears to Ventress, saying this chapter of Asajj's life is over. "You have your own path to follow now," Talzin says to an anguished Ventress before disappearing.
